US Expands Airstrikes on ISIS in Iraq - Video

Video news form Iraq: US expands airstrikes against ISIS.
U.S. jets have bombed Islamic State targets southwest of Baghdad, in an expansion of the U.S. campaign against the militant group in Iraq.
The Pentagon said late Monday this is the first strike as part of an expanded effort to go beyond protecting U.S. personnel and interests, as Islamic State goes on the offensive.
Another airstrike was carried out near Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq.
President Barack Obama told the nation last week that the U.S. would expand its military effort against Islamic State and lead a relentless effort to destroy the militants wherever they exist.
Obama has authorized airstrikes on Islamic State in Syria, but has not yet decided whether to launch them.
A senior official has warned Syria not to interfere with U.S. air action, saying the U.S. could retaliate against Syrian air defense systems.
Obama has ruled out working with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against Islamic State, which is fighting to topple him. The U.S. regards President Assad as an illegitimate leader and a criminal.
About 30 countries have pledged to support Iraq in its fight against Islamic State militants by "all means necessary," including military aid.
In a statement following a Monday conference in Paris on the crisis, diplomats said aid should come in line with "needs expressed by the Iraqi authorities, in accordance with international law and without jeopardizing civilian security."
Paris Conference on Peace and Security in Iraq, nations represented, Sept. 15, 2014
Paris Conference on Peace and Security in Iraq, nations represented, Sept. 15, 2014
The meeting highlighted the "urgent" need to remove the Islamic State group from regions where it has established itself in Iraq. The officials also agreed to continue and increase emergency humanitarian aid to Iraqi authorities.
The conference included officials from about 30 countries, the United Nations, European Union and the Arab League.
It is the latest step in an effort to build a coalition to battle the Islamic State group, which has taken over large areas in northern and western Iraq as well as eastern Syria.
French President Francois Hollande said there is "no time to lose" in the fight against Islamic State militants. As he spoke on Monday, French jets carried out their first reconnaissance flights over areas where the militants are operating in Iraq.
Besides posing a threat to the Middle East, the Islamic State group is a menace for Western nations like France, where authorities estimate roughly 1,000 people have left to join the jihadist movement, Hollande added.
The talks followed a tour of the Middle East by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to gain support for President Barack Obama's plan to deal with Islamic State militants.
Kerry said a growing number of countries are prepared to join the fight, including several Arab nations offering to give military aid and carry out airstrikes, if needed.
Neither Syria nor Iran were invited to the conference.
On Monday, the United States ruled out military coordination with Iran involving Islamic State militants in Iraq but said it is open to future talks.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the U.S. ambassador in Iraq asked for Iran's cooperation, but that the request was rejected because the U.S. has "dirty hands."
Iraqi President Fouad Massoum urged world powers to pursue Islamic State militants wherever they are. They must not be allowed any sanctuary, he said.
Massoum said Iraq welcomed humanitarian and military support to fight the militants, including airstrikes, but he ruled out ground troops.
He highlighted the importance of taking action against the Islamic State group, saying it is "in the interest of everyone."
"If this group installs itself in Iraq, this will create of a lot of problems in Iraq, the region and the world," Massoum said. "We must try to be helped by other countries so there is international mobilization against this group that wants to install itself in Iraq and from there unleash itself on the world."
Massoum said he thinks Iran should have been invited, given the long shared border with Iraq and the humanitarian aid Iran has been providing during the crisis.

PressTV War on Syria catastrophic for Middle East, harmful to US Leader

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says US intervention in Syria would be catastrophic for the Middle East and extremely harmful to US regional interests.
Speaking in a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani and his Cabinet members in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei said the Americans would incur losses similar to what they sustained in Iraq and Afghanistan, if they decided to take military action against Syria.
"The intervention by transregional and foreign powers in a country will have no result other than kindling the flames [of war] and will increase the hatred of nations for them," the Leader pointed out.
"Such warmongering is like a spark in a gunpowder depot whose true dimensions and consequences cannot be estimated," Ayatollah Khamenei added.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader pointed to the ongoing situation in Egypt, noting that the Islamic Republic cannot turn a blind eye to the massacre of the Egyptian people.
"We are in no way interested in meddling in the internal affairs of Egypt, but we also cannot close our eyes to the massacre of Egyptians.... We condemn the massacre of Egyptian people who were not armed," the Leader said.
Ayatollah Khamenei further emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns the perpetrators of such a massacre no matter who they are.
"Civil war must be seriously avoided in Egypt because a civil war in Egypt would be a catastrophe for the Muslim world and the region," the Leader stated.
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed the importance of restoration of "democracy and the popular vote in Egypt," saying that the democratization process in the North African country is unstoppable.

ISIS: US Coaltion of 30 Countries Meet In Paris To Coordiante Strategy Against Islamic State

Does the road from Damascus lead to Tehran?
Thirty countries have pledged to help Iraq fight Islamic State (IS) militants "by all means necessary". A joint statement by foreign ministers taking part in a major conference in Paris said support would include "appropriate military assistance". The talks had been called to agree a strategy to combat the group, which controls large parts of Iraq and Syria.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying:
"The recent remarks by U.S. officials regarding the formation of a so-called international coalition to battle Islamic State (IS) militants are "absurd, hollow and biased."
Russia reiterated that any air strikes in Syria would be an act of aggression without the consent of President Bashar al-Assad or an international mandate.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said: "China is ready to abide by the principle of mutual respect, equality and cooperation in strengthening anti-terrorist cooperation with the rest of the international community and maintaining global peace and stability."
Syria's Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad said it blamed Britain and the United States for the rise of IS, saying they should have supported the Assad regime's fight against jihadist armed groups, instead of pushing for regime change in Damascus.

Khamenei Slams Republican Letter on Iran, U.S. Known for 'deceit'

Iran's Supreme Leader hit out on Thursday at a letter by U.S. Republican senators threatening to undo any nuclear deal between Washington and Tehran, saying he was worried because the United States was known for "backstabbing", Mehr news agency reported.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei added at a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani and senior clerics that whenever negotiators made progress, the Americans became "harsher, tougher and coarser", Mehr reported.
The letter signed by 47 Republican senators warned Iran that any nuclear deal made with U.S. President Barack Obama could last only as long as he remained in office, in an unusual intervention into U.S. foreign policy-making.
Mehr quoted Khamenei as saying: "Of course I am worried, because the other side is known for opacity, deceit and backstabbing."

Iran arrests 'Afghans and Pakistanis joining Islamic State'

Iran says it has arrested Afghan and Pakistani citizens who were trying to join Islamic State (IS) jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq.
Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani said the foreigners planned to cross Iran - but did not specify how many had been arrested, or where.
Shia Iran is opposed to the Sunni extremists of IS, who have undermined its allies in Iraq and Syria.
Iran is said to be prepared to work alongside the US against IS in Iraq.
Sources in Tehran told BBC Persian last week that Iran's Supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had authorised his top commander to co-ordinate the fight against IS with US, Kurdish and Iraqi forces.
However, Iran's foreign ministry denied that it would co-operate with the US against IS.
Iran has traditionally opposed US involvement in Iraq, an Iranian ally.
Recently however, both the US and Iran have offered military assistance to combat IS in Iraq, while refusing to place their troops on the ground.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is due in Jordan and Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to try to build regional support to counter the threat posed by Islamic State, a US state department spokeswoman said.
Fighters led by IS, an extremist group which is also known as Isis and Isil, seized a large stretch of borderless territory across Iraq and Syria this summer, declaring the land they control a caliphate.
Iran borders Iraq to the west, and Afghanistan and Pakistan to the east.
US President Barack Obama is expected to detail a plan of action against IS in a speech on Wednesday.
Mr Obama has been heavily criticised for remarks at a recent press conference when he said that the US had yet to form a strategy for dealing with IS.

U.S airstrikes target Islamic State in Iraq

President Of The United States (Government Office Or Title) McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet (Aircraft Model) Islamic State Of Iraq And Syria (Organization) Aircraft (Type Of Fictional Setting) USS George H.W. Bush (Ship) Barack Obama (US President) Airstrike (Cause Of Death) syria today terrorists clip guerrilla warfare attacks clip guerrilla Airstrikes In Iraq ISIS armed trucks us air strike isis us air strike iraq US Central Command and breaking news violence in syria militants in Iraq artillery striked ISIS iraq airstrikes isis airstrikes US airstrike Iraq Air Force Iraq (Country) in syria today Islamic State Combat Cam war in syria Russia Today us army in Cockpit Mosul Dam iraq war airstrike Military explosive shooting Airplane Landing Daash iraq Army isis Plane ISIL.
The United States launched airstrikes in Iraq on Monday in what defense officials said is the start of an expanded action against Islamic State extremists.
The U.S. military's Central Command said both fighter and attack aircraft conducted separate airstrikes Sunday and Monday in support of Iraqi forces southwest of Baghdad and near Sinjar, Iraq.
The strikes were described as the first to provide direct aid for Iraqi forces fighting the Islamic militant group, as previous actions were conducted to protect U.S. personnel and interests. Iraqi forces requested assistance when they came under fire from militants.
President Obama last week announced that a broader campaign would seek to "degrade and ultimately destroy'' the Islamic State group, which sometimes is referred to by the acronym ISIL or ISIS.
In total, the strikes destroyed six vehicles near Sinjar and an ISIL fighting position southwest of Baghdad that was firing on Iraqi personnel, the military said in a statement. All U.S. aircraft exited the strike areas safely.
"The airstrike southwest of Baghdad was the first strike taken as part of our expanded efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions to hit ISIL targets as Iraqi forces go on offense, as outlined in the President's speech last Wednesday,'' the U.S. Central Command's statement said.
No U.S. forces on ground called in the air strike, officials said.
Since air strikes began last month, the attacks had been centered on Islamic State fighters in northern Iraq, near dams at Mosul and Haditha and to protect refugees stranded on Mount Sinjar.
Secretary of State John Kerry met Monday in Paris with diplomatic leaders from more than a dozen countries as the administration tries to round up allies to help battle the extremists.
U.S. forces have carried out a total of 162 airstrikes across Iraq, the military said.
The CIA estimates Islamic State has access to 20,000 and 31,500 fighters in Iraq and Syria.
In Paris, where other nations were pledging support, Kerry said the United States was open to talks with Iran about a role but ruled out military coordination.
"That doesn't mean that we are opposed to the idea of communicating to find out if they will come on board, or under what circumstances, or whether there is the possibility of a change," Kerry told reporters.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Monday that he had rejected U.S. overtures to join a coalition against the Islamic State extremists because Americans have "evil intentions and dirty hands."
Khamenei, speaking to reporters upon his release from a Tehran hospital after prostate surgery, said Washington's aim in building up an international group to fight in Iraq and Syria is to create "a playground where they can enter freely and bomb at will."
Iran opposes the Islamic State but is wary of working with the United States to oppose it. The U.S., in turn, has said it will not coordinate militarily with Iran in the fight against the Islamic Statemilitants
